#313 - Bia

What's CSBA checking in live and check me out on the Bootleg keV podcast.

Bootleg Keev Show a special guest here be a superstar beer.

Welcome, Thanks for having me.

I just want to start the interview off because we just had this hypothetical situation where I was asking my boy because Millies came in and he has a pretty strong Boston accent for the most part, right, and can you kind of like break down to me like, well, one, you don't have like a crazy Boston accent, but like, do you have friends that are like women that have a hard time like finding good men because they sound like like, oh yeah, fucking Tom fucking Brady, they smoked cigarettes.

I don't have any friends that talk like that, but it's just like some of my friends moms okay, or like God bless their husbands. Maybe even sometimes my mom sounds like that's it's like an older like I feel like, you know, white Boston woman thing.

Yeah, it's like the CA, the Bay, the stop, like fi, let's go five like that. Yeah. Fucking Tom Brady. I love him. He's a buck, but I fucking love him still.

I love it. It's his own thing.

Yeah, for sure. Do you still do you find yourself still rooting for Tom while he's retired now? But were you rooting for Tom when he was over in Tampa Bay.

I wouldn't say, like, I wouldn't say like rooting for him, but like, I definitely think he has like a warm place and every Bostonian or Massachusetts person's heart. Guys he should, Yeah, because all he's done for the Patriots.

I think about that scene in Ted too where Ted like sneaks into his house to steal his com yes, and I was like, yeah, I'm sure a lot of people in Boston.

Would have done so weird.

Great movie by the great Boston.

Yeah, Ted is an amazing movie.

They're doing a TV show, have you heard?

No? I didn't hear that, like a whole series, no way. Yeah, I hope I could be in it, shout out to Ted and like color me.

Well, I want to say congrats because you have like turned into like a bona fide superstar.

Oh, thank you so much.

And you've had like a really long journey in this music industry. You've been through deals where you know, certain people didn't get it, and you've just kind of just transformed into like, uh, one of the you know, artists on the forefront of this rap shit. So congratulations.

I appreciate you a lot. Thank you.

Have you noticed like besides you know, obviously you're doing a lot of shows, You're doing a lot of festivals. That's you're doing clubs, You're in Vegas, you got you have Vegas residency right now.

Yeah, I have. I have one with dres right now. Before Drace, we did Jewel and Akassan so Tau group.

Nah. But like, have you noticed, like for you, was there anything that changed in terms of like where you started to kind of see like things finally really like work out in a big way. Look were you in terms of like were you like doing anything differently or was it just like finally the kind of the stars like aligned, you know.

I think it's a little bit of both. I think when every every time you see like an artist have a moment, I think there's like a wonderful team behind the scenes, like that's helping them be great. And I also think that the stars are aligning. And what I've learned through those moments is just to like be way more confident with whatever it is I'm doing and just be sure of it before I press go, because then it's like it's.

Fool proof for sure, do you Because I feel like there was like a moment where you had gotten off of RCA because you were on RCA.

For a while, yeah, like four and a half years.

Maybe, and then the Russ record happened, yes, and then I feel like after that it was just over.

After that has been kind of busy because we well, actually it was crazy because the Best on Earth happened and then the pandemic hit, so we weren't really like able to work Best on Earth like in the clubs when it first came out. We didn't even end up performing it together till a year later, so that changes things. I think as well. There's a lot of songs that I think would have hit like in a different way had we been able to be outside and has had

Yeah, I think like I was just like thinking, like, damn, you got a record with Nikki and a record with j Cole like to the greatest of all time?

Crazy, right, Yeah, Like do you ever like look.

Back and just think like damn, the last two and a half years have been like this is kind of surreal, Like I gotta kind of do you appreciate it?

Yes? Absolutely? Oh my goodness. Like everybody that knows me knows like I'm heavy on prayer, Like I talked to God like a million times a day, and I'm just super grateful. Like I'm one of those people that I I've seen so many moments like come and go for me, So now I'm learning to just be like way more present in those moments and appreciate them for what they are and not like I seek no expectations when I

Right, tell me the story on how because you've told it before. But like, the London record is one of my favorite joints you put out. You did a great job on that record, thank you. Yeah, it was. I've played the funk at it on the radio. But how does Cold end up on that particular song where you're doing the whole London thing.

It's crazy because we went to the studio to go meet Cole for a whole completely different song, and before we were on our way out, I was like, hey, can I play you something? Like, you know, I'm working on my project. I want to play this song. And he's like, yeah, go ahead, press play. And he loved the song. He's like, I love the song. This is good. Like I was like, okay, you know what that's like. He just seemed like he really liked the song, and I wanted to send it to him like some random day.

You want to check it out, since you said you liked it in your car at the gym, like whatever you want, and yeah, it just ended up working out like that, Like he ended up liking the song enough that he wanted to put a verse on it, and I was so happy about that because.

Like, look at that verse. It's like one of my favorite verses of all time.

Oh he killed it. He got off on how.

Can I just have seen this one and that one and I can have both?

Oh my god, he got all. He did not give you the throw away coverse. I know what he has by the way. I feel like every time he gets on some shit he bodies it.

He does, and I honestly wanted to. I was like, yo, I'm gonna go because when I first cut the record London, it was like a vibee fun record Like Me and Disease, we just have fun, Like if you know us, we go to the studio and we just try to have a good time. So we weren't, oh, we don't really try to overthink anything or try to make a hit or try to make a certain type of record. We just catch a vibe. So I wasn't overthinking or like pushing my pen to the to the bars, like expecting

Yeah, that's kind of like ating.

But like I was like, bro, who thinks when they cut like a random reference that Cole is going to be on that song? Yeah? Crazy.

I think that's against like unset rap roles too. If you send a record in with your verse and then it comes out and your verse is way.

Different, it's fine.

I think that. I think that might have been the root of the whole like cannabis ll thing back.

But I didn't do it because I didn't want to change the essence and the energy because you know, some songs they got that a certain like energy to him.

Did like anybody in London like feel like you were appropriating their accent.

I mean, nobody said that to me.

But I just wonder because everyone's so sensitive these days, and like you know, I was shout to England, the colonizers, of all colonizers, I just wonder if they had like yo, yo, what like you're taking our you know?

I mean, I got so much love in London such a great record. Like I love London so much, and it became like my second, like I want to say, like my second or third home, because I was traveling in London so often around that time. So when we when it came time that I did London, I was just so inspired by the culture. Yeah, so I was just like, how can I put this culture in the song without trying to like piss anybody off, but still make it my own.

You've worked with Pharrell and you have the new record where you're working with Timbaland and shout out to Timberland, who, Yes, in my opinion, he's my personal He's not my favorite, but he's to me the go because I think his range is so crazy. But what was it like, what's the difference between working with Pharrell and Timberland, who are on the mount rushmore of the producer game.

You know, they're completely different people. They're completely they have completely different like styles and approaches. I'd say, like, I mean they both The one thing I do say is like similar when it comes to like great great great producers is they're very much like into the vibe, like whatever, there's like an energy, you know what I'm saying the vibe has to be good for like, the vibe has to be right. So I'm just so grateful that I've

About the process? Are you like either of those guys? Have you cooked up from scratch with them or they just playing you like a folder?

Yes, we cooked it from scratch many times. Yet nice. Well, that weekend that I worked with Timberland, it was the weekend of Art Bazo, we cooked up from scratch. And then there's been many times I've cooked up from scratch of.

Well, nice, how was our basil?

Our pazel was vibes? I like Art Bazzel. You'm not really that like to too into our I don't know enough about it, but I appreciate it.

Yeah, I guess that's fair. I feel like I'm the same way. I appreciate it. I A'm buying it, but I appreciate it. I'll buy like a you know, a print of it. Yeah, you know, no, I'll buy it like that, like that's art, like a dude redid the WrestleMania thirteen posters? So I bought it, you know, and I appreciated it.

Or like if there's a what about if there's an artist that you that you're like, oh, I like your work also, I'll buy it and support and like grab a piece.

Sure if I know the artists, Yeah, I don't know any of those people.

Yeah, so all the artists need to hit you on our Instagram and show you.

Know where I get though. It's got to be fly, you know, it's got to be it's some good art. Oh, for sure. Some of the show I don't get though. It was like teach his own.

Like the plaint spatter is not your stuff?

Nah, I don't get it. So you go to Miami for artbassele, you end up any strip clubs at all? Like, do you do ale out there?

I love eleven? I Yeah, I love eleven. They're like they're like really good friends.

I feel like you've been you've been booked there before, right.

Yeah, I've been booked at eleven quite a few times. I love eleven so much. It's like my happy place.

I think it is quite possibly the best club in the world. It's like top five, top three, top two, maybe one. I'd say that because it's like you get the best of it. It's like a Vegas club with chicks.

Exactly, and it's twenty four hours. Yeah, like you got to be like a man I'm a maniac.

So what's the latest or the earliest in the morning You've walked out of a club.

The next day like two pm? Jesus, Yeah, eleven.

How many hours were wait? Wait how many hours were you there?

Probably ten eleven hours?

What are you doing inside of eleven for that long? Is there? I mean, are you I mean obviously throwing money or drinking, raging? Raging?

Yeah, raging, of course, that's a lot. Dancing, raging, drinking, dancing, rage.

I've walked out of the booby trap at around nine am. Yeah, but that's like, to me, that's manageable in Miami, like two pms. That's a lot. That's super degenerate. Y.

I think we weren't there at like eight am.

Okay, that's fair.

So you're like seven am from I don't know if you.

Were, like yo, I performed at two thirty and I stayed until the whole twelve hour ship that bitch.

No no, no, I didn't perform and stay. It was like we were outside and then we went to eleven for breakfast.

Ah, what is they got breakfast like almonds and jam.

Yeah, they got like I think it's chicken and waffles. That's in the morning, if you're going, if you go in the morning, because they're twenty four hours. So we had been out all night and then we went to eleven and I think we love it, Like two pm.

Is it nice to have the Barbs in your corner? I feel like the Barbs fuck with you and that's a good place to be in and just in the world.

Yeah, they've They've shown me so much love and so much support. Like the Barbes are like like who needs uh? Like for Niki, it's like she doesn't even need a label, like shes are their own arms.

Like she just read the last night because she didn't go to met Gallon. She was like number one on trending legend. It's crazy because the Barbs came to my defense because I said something about, uh, I love Little Kim, but I said something that little Kim's whatever they're called, they're her barbs, and they came at me crazy for like two days and then the Barbs have my back. They're crazy. It sounds like a real army. What is do you have a fan based name?

It's crazy. I've teetled and toddled with a couple of names, but I think I'm gonna probably just find one that comes naturally, like yeah, m hmm.

Yeah. Have you seen Swarm on Amazon Prime? Yes?

I did. It's really really crazy.

And it's also kind of like scary like that it's kind of like not too far from reality, like and.

It's it's a little crazy because you don't really see women serial killers. M hm.

So that was there was that one movie, uh Monster with Shirley's Starron Did you ever watch that? She was a serial killer. She was like a prostitute. She used to kill truckers. Yeah, it was a good movie. I'm gonna she's like really beautiful girl.

Yeah.

She she like took on a role as like this like white trash like trucker lady who was like a lot lizard. Do you know what a lot lizard is?

I don't. I don't know what a lot lizard is.

So it's a lot lizard. If you're a truck driver. They have truck stops and it's girls who offer lonely men who are in trucks at truck stops in the middle of nowhere.

Certain services so why they call them lizards?

That's just what they call them. They call them a lot lizard.

That is gross.

It is gross.

Well it's a dirty name, like.

I don't I don't disagree. It's a dirty name for a dirty job. Yo. On this record, you drop sixteen, which I think is dope because you're getting your shit off on that.

Oh thanks, give me some yo.

What so what job did you get fired from? Oh?

Man, I had like a job at a like when I was, I had tons of jobs. I had every single job like grocery store, bar attending, waitressing, but it was like a bartending job. I didn't. Oh yeah, it was a bartending job and themselves and foot locker too, foot locker. Yeah, but I had I have a great relationship with full locker, like I was like employee of the year. Really No, no, no, not really. But could you were you like top tier assistant?

Were you back door in any of the shoes?

No? I had keys and everything. I was super responsible, like good employee. I was that girl.

Yeah, so you weren't like if the pair Jordan's came in.

I wasn't stealing.

No, no, no, I'm not saying stealing. You might set up a paraside for your for the homie like, yeah, I.

Did that a few times. Yeah, yeah, I used to do that for my friends.

What was the last real job you had? Was it the bar to anything?

Yeah?

And you just like did you literally tell them fuck you when you when you got fired?

No? I didn't actually, not that one one of them. Yeah, but not not the last one.

So you could make a drink like you could make like yeah, imb.

I'm actually like I can make it. I'm really a chef?

Can you cook everything?

Literally everything?

When you say you're really a chef? What does that mean? Like the same do you have like a certificate that says, so are you just I'm a hood chef? You're a hood chef? Okay? Yes, So what's like the go to if I had to be like, Okay, Shelby, like what is your what are you gonna make there? You're very confident in, well, what do you like? I'm I'm into everything. I'm a fat fuck as we discussed, because.

Like I got I got some famous dishes of mine, Like if you.

Had to cook a dish for uh, give me the Gordon Ramsey dish. He's sitting there all right, like I'm gonna cook you, so.

I would make it. I would make a medley of things, okay, because I feel as though if I have a med ley, I can't lose. If you don't like one thing, he's gonna like another thing. So I would do these lamb chops that I do, these garlic charred mint lamb chops. Then they very like taste level, like very very high, like it's not even regular at all. And then I would do a Chilean sea bass, and then I would do on another day, if you come, I would do

That sounds fire.

Yeah, their little roles.

Yo. The best Italian food I ever had was in Boston and Little Italy and there's like those little bakeries that stay open all night. Yeah, oh my.

God, Cano's Oh my goodness, I missed Canoli.

I be got out the fucking club from DJ and shit Face and there was a fucking bakery open at three in the morning, Like, what the fuck?

Is going on over here.

I love a bakery so lasagna rolls. Yo, what's good man? We got to stop the interview to tell you about our good folks at my bookie. That's right man. NBA season is winding down. Playoffs are going down. So many ways you can get money. You could bet on who you think is go win the finals. You can get your prop bets per game. We are finally down to the final eight. Right now, my son's ain't looking good at the time of recording. Not looking good. Look, go

Ooh, you come on with the ideas and then.

You could just license it to a ghost kitchen and come up with their own menu and then give them the recipes and then you know, people all over the world can.

Just but they will have them. They'll have my recipes.

I mean it could be like a water down version of the recipe. Like I feel like a lasagna roll would be like like, let me get six of those, like in a little box.

Yeah, it's like that.

Yeah, yeah you should do that.

You know what, Next time I come I might bring in lasagnae rules.

That would be amazing.

Yeah, next time I come here, I'll bring Lasania rules.

I'll break my diet for that. Okay, I'm on a keto diet.

Just because I like to brag about how good it is and then people then you can then you can vouch for me, so I don't have to do the talking next time, and you'd be like, you know, it's a really good chef, be it.

How's the album coming along?

It's actually like, uh, mixing, mastering finished, so it's done.

Like you're not turning anything.

New in Yeah, no, no, no, Well I can't say that because if when verses come through last minute.

Yeah, if you get a crazy verse at the end of the finish line.

Put it on. In terms of your parts, my part is done. My part is done when you put out well, my part is never all the way done. I might seek inspiration tomorrow and just add one in there for a surprise.

So Wednesday, I'm dropping, you're here, so you're obviously working.

I mean, it's oh yeah, it's it's. It's so it's pretty much sealed up.

Have you let the name fly yet?

No, but I'm it's I'm so happy about the name.

Are you?

I can't tell you yet?

But is the artwork done?

Yes? Yes?

For you? Like, do you feel like because you've put out some big singles when you dropped the album and you had like a song like London or Basito with with ge Herbo, are those like bonus tracks? Are you working those into the track listening of the album? Those, I feel like you put them at the end so they count towards the whole thing, dude, But you gotta pull the French Montana.

It depends that Besita was not on.

This album, so it's not gonna be on like at the end as.

A No, Basita was one.

It was on the deluxe.

Okay, yeah, so London will be on this one maybe well yet for sure it will be on this.

With it is Yeah, you gotta put it on there.

No, it is. London will be on this one, but that's probably like the only record and well London and I'm that bitch.

Is there any features you can reveal?

No? None, only because I just like surprises, some surprises. Yeah, Like I like to just like let it, let it come out.

How big of a surprise.

I like big surprises, you know.

Me, like a stadium surprise or like a House of Blues across there.

Be way I like a big surprise. I like a little razzle dazzle every now and then.

Any Boston features not on.

This one, but me and Millies would definitely do a song. We've been trying to find the time. His schedule in my schedule is like crazy.

Millies is Uh. He's having a moment right now.

He's incredible. Like, I'm so happy for him.

I met him in a south By Southwest in like twenty thirteen at the hotel lobby. He came up to me and was like, I watched a shit on two Dope Boys, and now right now that's what's up. And then again a long journey.

Yeah, I'm so happy to see like everybody like around the world really catch on him too, because he's really so genuine and just so good at what he does. It's like people need to know about him.

Who would you put on the Boston hip or let's just say Massachusetts, because if Jodan Lucas is not from Boston, who's on the Mount Rushmore? Of if you had to exclude yourself because you're up there, but Massachusetts as a.

State, Massachusetts, I would go like legends to like, I'll put Guru. Of course, I would do, like a.

Lot of people don't know Gurus from Boston and Primo from Texas.

That's a hard one. Man.

Would you let Benzino sniff it? Just take a sniff?

Sniff?

What the Mount Rushmore of Boston or Massachusetts hip hop? Would let him? At least? Would you at least like invite him to the.

You gotta wear your question. That's crazy, that sounds crazy. Sniff it is crazy.

I mean, like, would you let him sniff the this? Would you like consider him? I mean the source was big you know, man, Yeah, you know the source. It's almighty R s O.

You know. Yeah, no, like for sure, Like, yeah, Benzino, he's definitely important to the culture.

He's important. Yeah, absolutely, you're on there. Guru's on there. I don't I don't like this guy, Johanner Lucas is on there.

Yeah, for sure, I'll let you. I'll let you pick the rush more and I'll just say give you thumbs.

Can we go non rappers? Yeah?

Please? Static selected static selected number number one. Okay, terminology.

Terminology is up there. Yeah, like shout out the term man one of my forgetting.

I don't know. It's like, I'm so I gotta like tap more back into the Boston scene because there's a lot of from there.

Who was Michael Christmas? I know way too much about what's the what's the guy's name who's named after beer? Is it Samuel Adams from there? Sammy Adams? She had never got into his yet. I missed that whole ship, but shout out to him. But you're up there? Yeah, are we considering Cooy from Boston? Is she from Boston?

She has roots for sure. Yeah, she's from She's kind of like Boston and Jersey.

Have you and her get to link up and connect.

And yeah, we're real cool like outside of music too.

Yeah. She seems like a great energy.

Yeah, I love her. She's super genuine and like, I'm super happy for her as well.

How cool was it getting on the NICKI remix that just dropped? Because it seemed like she you know, when she chooses an all queen lineup of artists to hop on a remix, that's got to be a dope honor to be included in that.

Absolutely, yeah, she any, I'm so just inspired by like Nicki, Rihanna, so many women that I've I've had the chance to cross paths with that really inspire me, have shown me

Well, I think you've done a really good job of like just I don't ever see your name like wrapped up in any of the like unnecessary drama. Sometimes I feel other artists, I just like, what's going on? Why is it like these people have no reason to have problems with each other? Like it just doesn't make sense.

With me, I'm more like if it's really like if you if it's really like some type of pressure you you have to address me like for real or you have to like address me in real life, like people see me outside. I'm outside everywhere. I'm everywhere. I'm at every festival, I'm at every show. So I don't really feel that energy from anybody, like you know, and I don't really give that energy like I.

Don't have you don't you give a number of positive energy.

Yeah, I'm so confident, it's so happy with what I'm doing that I don't have really the time to like nitpick girls for no reason, right, you know. But yeah, like I'm a positive person for the most part. Everybody that knows me knows I just like to have a good time and spread love.

Is Russ on the album not not right now, but I'm trying to find a song for him.

We were speaking about that the other day. I'm trying to find like the perfect song because I love Russ. He's like one of the most knowledgeable and talented.

People and he's like a like he's like really talent. I think he told yesterday he was teasing he's gonna put out like a seventies rock song, and I was like, bro, I bet it's gonna be fire.

Because he can do every time.

He's a beast. For sure. You've done some huge festivals, Like I feel like you've done them all at this point, But like, what was the one festival you did where you just looked at out the crowd you were like, fuck, this is fucking.

Crazy, the biggest one ever?

Yeah, or just like maybe a nervous moment or just like a like something that just sticks out with your biggest.

To this day, the biggest festival I've ever done was the Telethon and Chile with J Balvin. Wow, it was seventy five thousand people. It was so many people that I couldn't even see like physical people. All I could see was little dots, like little heads, little flashes of lights. Crazy, But that was the most I've ever seen most people ever. But but I love just like festival crowds because people that go to festivals like they're going there to gage. Yes, So that's my favorite, my favorite energy.

Because there's like and then you go to a nightclub and it's like there's people in there that are just like they're holding their bottles standing in the fucking booth and they're just like looking at you.

Like, don't get me wrong. I love nightclubs too now.

No, they're great.

Like I turned the nightclubs up.

I just opened the nightclubs.

So yes, I come pop in here.

We can book you with Scott Stele.

I love Arizona too. Yeah, it gets wild in Scott Steele.

It does. It does get wild.

You don't know it gets wild. So you go there and see for yourself.

This is true, This is true for you. Uh what about going out on tour for your fans, like going and kind of just touching your direct fan base with a tour. Is that something that's coming with this album?

Yes? Yes, I'm so glad you asked that, because I've never been on my own tour.

I didn't say it feels like it hasn't happened because I'm sure because of the pandemic.

Never and I'm such like an like an older og artist, and I have gone on my own tour, but I've always been on tour with like huge acts, So I feel like it takes up when you go on tour. It takes some months. Yeah, So like you'll go on tour and you get off tour, you start recording, you go on tour again. And I think that that just helps me anyways, because when it comes time that I go on tour, there's gonna be like so many more people for me to.

See and it's like they're there for you.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what my tour looks like, like with my fans.

They got that show singing album cuts, you got the merch booming. You know what I'm saying.

I'm excited for that.

So album coming soon, really soon, very soon, very very soon.

Yeah. I don't like to talk about it to be about it, you know.

So one day we'll just be like, oh, the B album's coming out in two weeks. Yeah, the new record is crazy with Timblin Thank you. Is there a new single coming?

Yeah? You know me, it's always a new single coming. Actually, now I've been way more consistent because like I've been learning to find that balance, Like when you doing so many shows, I feel like this is like new territory for me, Like I've the past two years have been the busiest I've ever been in my life. So I've been trying to balance like you know, new shows, new music, seeing family, having a social life, all those things is so hard to do.

I wonder like when, because I've seen artists who will do all these festivals right and like they're not doing the shows we just talked about, Like when you do your own tour, does that ever affect the way you create? Like have you ever like been like, damn, I got to make a fucking festival record because I see a lot of guys doing that shit like and sometimes it can it can kind of work out in the negative because I think when you try to do stuff on purpose, sometimes it comes across that way.

Yeah, you know, well, I do so many festivals and so many like you like, just shows with high energy. So a lot of my records when I go to the studio are high energy records because I'm always picturing myself performing records on stage. But I do have those albums cause like Motionless where it's like way on sixteen that's like way more vulnerable, where like I try to you know, talk my shit but still still give a vibe.

What is uh BIA's go to show to binge watch right now? It is summertime.
